Who is liable in an accident caused by a pothole?
Potholes pose significant hazards on Kentucky’s roads, often leading to costly damages and accidents, costing drivers an average of $406 per repair. Responsibility for maintaining safe roads falls on both governmental entities and private landowners, depending on the road’s jurisdiction. Post-accident actions include documenting the scene, reporting the pothole, seeking medical care, and consulting legal experts like Kaiman and Crahan to navigate claims and seek compensation.
